Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Crafted to express the unique terroir of Terra Sancta Estate on Felton Road in Bannockburn, this Pinot Noir is as quality, layered and beautiful as the place it is from. Reflecting the aspect, soil type, vine age and microclimate of each block of the Estate, Pinot Noir of the highest quality consistently delivers a core of dark fruit, earthy beetroot, exotic spices and silky texture. Carefully crafted and minimally made using wild fermentation and subtle French oak, this is a gorgeous Pinot Noir.
Highly aromatic, the nose is layered and complex with violets, fresh thyme, oregano and Christmas spices. Possessing both energy and weight, the palate is harmonious with flavours of plum, dark berries, herbs, and anise, along with a velvety texture and fine tannins. A Pinot Noir of subtle power that lingers on the palate, this is a beautiful expression of the Terra Sancta Estate in a great vintage."
94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, February 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Spicy, peppery pinot noir with an attractive savoury edge to a core of ripe fruit flavours. Light in colour but with power that builds in the mid-palate and helps drive a lengthy finish. Should develop well with bottle age."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Elegantly composed and expressed, the bouquet shows sweet berry, roasted nut, dried mushroom and warm spice aromas, leading to a finely flowing palate that's poised and stylish. Tannins is mellow and beautifully melded, making it soothing and comforting. At its best: now to 2032. "
